10 Disturbing Details in the Arkham Games - Part 4

Another fact about the dollotrons, if you use detective mode to scan their heart rates, they’re in a constant Terrified state. They also make some sort of whimper noise if you listen closely right outside their cell.

Calendar Man creeps me out for the very reason you mentioned. His crimes are realistic. While releasing a Fear Toxin on a city is scary, realistically, it probably won’t happen. However, stalking a woman then smothering her could and has happened. That scares the hell out of me.

[@jaybarbieri8619]

That's what makes him such a great character. He's frighteningly realistic

[@LoneHermit]

Arkham Harley is truly her most evil itteration. Ignoring your conscience is the most evil thing any person can do, some people can be manipulated or just be unaware about doing horrible acts. But Harley understands that she is doing wrong, yet she still goes through with it. That is evil because she chooses to do evil. No Joker to manipulate her.

[@kujo4388]

Riddler may be annoying in Arkham, but he’s still such an awesome character. The fact that he knows that Strange has a Batman costume behind a secret panel that no one else could possibly know about proves his genius even more. He knows that knowledge is power and uses that to gain leverage on others

Trivia fact: in the Batman Vs Robin animated movie, Dollmaker was voiced by Weird Al Yankovic. Yes. A lighthearted, wacky, quirky comedy musician managed to pull off a genuinely disturbing performance as a terrifying villain.

[@firehedgehog1446]

Here's a creepy detail in Arkham Knight: If you really pay attention then you may see some faces seen in the scenery of the city change into the face of the Joker, this includes those stone busts as well as the faces seen on billboards, but if you look away & look back, the faces change back to normal. A rather very creepy detail that I never noticed until I started paying attention to the scenery when hunting for Riddler challenges

[@HenriAGS]

I noticed this when I first played and I thought I was going nuts. I was gliding through Gotham and saw a Joker face on a billboard and was like "wtf?", then when I turned it wasn't there and I actually thought I was hallucinating. Good times.

[@firehedgehog1446]

[@chuenjinyang4513]

It's important to remember that killer croc is ACTUALLY a human. He was born a human from a human family. He just had a goofy condition that made him look like a reptile. So if you think about it, they treated a human like an actual animal/guinea pig. At least the other humans were treated like regular humans, granted still poorly but they were treated poorly for human standards. Croc is a human who is treated poorly for animal standards. Strapped down, put in a cage etc

[@Ayobruhyo]

[@GilDragonGamer]

@@Ayobruhyo It’s because Dollmaker does stuff to kids. If a dang criminal does something to children,that’s where I draw the line. That’s why I don’t like him. When something bad happens to children, I’m like nope, this guy needs to take 10 ft away from kids

1:45 jesus christ.... of all the things for him to inherit from his father, it had to be that.

[@BiBiGaming13]

In Arkham Knight. The reason why Batman is so hellbent of keeping Oracle, Nightwing & Robin away from him and Gotham is due to the fact that he will start to slowly become Joker. If he cant find a cure the one closest to him will be first when Joker takes over. this fear is shown in Arkham Vr where SPOILERS: The whole game is a nightmare of Bruce’s where he has killed both Robin and Nightwing due to Jokers influence.

[@NightriderzFlash]

I played that one and I was so confused about them both being killed off.

Considering Arkham Origins takes place on Christmas Eve and Jonathan crane last visited the 22nd of December in more than likely is just symbolic that he entered the world of pure Anarchy and lunacy and never left with the real reason that he never checked out likely being he simply forgot or the developers just didn't have a time put on the paper

[@Arkhambatpro564]

I just had a thought while watching the scarecrow segment, you made a short a while ago about a conversation in origins where some thugs discussed about how homeless people are disappearing, what if that's related to the scarecrow pamphlet and those people just died from the fear toxin, i mean we saw what happened to the test subjects on stagg's airships in knight, the same could have easily happened here!

[@kkduds3119]

i doubt it, according to the new arkham shadow trailer scarecrow is still dr crane during the events of origins.

Thanks for acknowledging Calender man. He doesn’t need a outwardly appearance or reputation to be this creepy. He is a person that committed everyday crimes. Joker always wants the biggest attention and Croc is forced to be a monster due to his treatment

[@Oooze3424]

I'm gonna be honest, I preferred Calendar Man as the guy in the stupid costume. Now he's just a knock-off Hannibal Lector, I can almost HEAR the writers on their knees pleading "please, PLEASE take him seriously! we threw out everything unique about the guy in the same franchise as a evil clown, a man who never emotional progressed passed being the Smartest Kind in School, and a dude themed around the number two and replaced it with a stock serial killer with a mild holiday theme! PLEASE thing he's cool!"

The dolmaker actually gave me goosebumps 😮 I was watching this at night actually that why I actually got scared. And for scarecrow in batman Arkham shadow we'll see his origins clearly that how he became scarecrow completely. Looking forward to Arkham shadow

See, how Harley is in all the Arkham games makes the Suicide Squad game really not fit in the universe, like we're just expected to believe that Harley is suddenly over Joker and all the years of trauma? Same kinda thing with Deadshot, "oh the guy Batman has fought since the beginning was just some faker who was also named Floyd Lawton, a master marksman, and the real one was locked away" Like no that game doesn't fit in the Arkham cannon for me.

"my father would accuse me of cheating, of course i cheated but that's beside the point" and his obsession with batman failing to the point where he cheats and get's angry when batman pulls through i believe dollotrons were sent somewhere they could be given care but nothing could be done for them so they would be put out of their misery not because i want it to be edgy and gritty but because there doesn't seem any way to fix them

[@SpikeyXSTheRedHood]

I mean Clayface got what he deserved tbh what did he expect working with the Joker? Also for Scarecrow I think he was trying to make his fear toxin stronger he started off on weaker minded people then started making it stronger for stronger wills

[@FortiethDoor47]

hey gothampaladin, also for the next part you could mention joker's horryifing experiments with TITAN on arkham asylum. for example, during the main story, when you enter the abandoned chamber for the first time, you can hear joker making his experiments with his henchmen, and one deformed titan thug falls into the abandoned chamber.

All Batman villains had a reason for being a psycho (well, not all) but most do, and it's usually because of depression and tragedy that drives 'em crazy

[@HydraKittten]

The dollotrons were likely put in a home, as sometimes happens for the disabled who need people to take care of them, I can't imagine them being put down when more humane options exist. also, I interpret Crane's visits and studies as less malevolent. he was a psychiatrist after all, he was likely looking for a way to help people through medicine, but became obsessed in his work on fear and succumbed to the call of evil

[@iwritestoriesinmyfreetime]

Best case scenario on the Dollotrons is that Pyg told the G.C.P.D. all that he did to those people, and the poor souls were stitched back together, piece by piece. It would never undo the trauma, but their bodies could be salvaged. I wouldn't count on it. Pyg is truly horrible.

[@Gerald3merald]

I feel sympathy and relate to Scarecrow or Johnathan in some ways. He was abandoned by his parents at birth, his grandmother abused him, he was bullied and humiliated constantly throughout his life, and he was alone and never had any friends. He isn't a monster he is just a broken man who hates Batman and the rest of the world for what was done to him and how they made him afraid. He hates Batman because he reminds him of his bullies because they beat him, humiliated him, and they made him afraid.
